love everything about it!

First of all, I like the look. Makes no noise when cooking. When poured, it has a mesh inside so the boiling water can't flow out, so it flows smoothly. It can be processed very well. I hope it lasts as long as my predecessor! We filtered water, so I'm not worried about build-up, but if that's a problem for you, just pour in vinegar and let it steep for a while. It has a filter that catches all debris.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Almost never

Do not buy this teapot

Cuisinart has a good reputation so when we needed a new teapot we went with this one. Bought in July, stopped working in early September. You can turn it on, but nothing happens. We tried it at a couple of outlets just to make sure the kettle was to blame - and it was. It was too late to give it back to Revain, so we got stuck trying to finish Cuisinart. They were so hard to deal with that we're considering just giving up.

Pros
  • Price

Does what it's supposed to do but with some flaws

Bought to replace an old Braun kettle that was leaking from the water level window. Pros: The lid stays attached so it's easy to open and fill. Our old one had a quarter turn removable cap, which could be finicky. The water volume of 1.7 liters is good. Looks good. Cuisinart is (hopefully) a reliable brand; I chose them based on a brilliant recommendation from a more expensive model of the same kettle. Problems: Hard to see the water level when holding/filling it as it's on the case under theโ€ฆ

The problem is a poorly designed switch.

We ordered this cordless kettle from what appeared to be a reputable company. When the device arrived it was not working. When the switch is pressed it should stay down and pop up when the water boils. The switch didn't work. (Another reviewer said they used a weight to hold it down but then it wouldn't pop out and could be dangerous if forgotten!) But without checking the reviews I figured the switch issue was a must have been an accident. So we exchanged it for an identical model that justโ€ฆ

Faulty switch A true shutdown

Buying this product online is not worth it. I bought this product and it worked flawlessly for the first 3 weeks. Now the on/off switch doesn't work and the only way to get the Cuisinart JK-17 cordless kettle to turn on is to make the switch heavier. If this was purchased from a local store I could exchange the defective item for a new one. I missed my 30-day Revain trade-in window and am stuck with an expensive product that cannot be activated. Edited 3-21-15 for clarity. Just to be clear, the

Tried three; all flow

This is the second one I've bought (first from Target, second from Revain). Both lick water from below. Almost every time you remove the kettle from the base after boiling, water will remain on the base and the bottom of the kettle will leak. Sometimes there is a considerable amount of water; enough to wipe it off. This is all a joke. I figured the first one must be an anomaly so I got another one from Revane. The second came on 23.07. (now 24.08.) and like the last one drips at the bottomโ€ฆ

  • Kitchen & Dining
Cons
  • Cord shorter than others
